Matt Clement is heading back to the National League from whence he came: the St. Louis Cardinals signed him today to a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount, with a club option for 2009. So he'll again be wearing red this season... just of a different variety.
Clement had surgery in the fall of 2006 that kept him off the mound for the Red Sox for the entirety of 2007. The last time Matt pitched? June of '06. This offseason, the club declined to offer him arbitration, so the Sox and Clement officially parted ways.
As a Sox fan, I wish Clement luck in his new home- but as a Cubs fan, I hope he rides the pine again.

I definately don't think you have alot to worry about for this year. I think Clement will have an avg year at best, I am definately leaning more towards the sub par year!
